Research Services

We specialise in tracing your ancestors who came from glorious Gloucestershire, the city of Bristol and the neighbouring counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire;

We aim to uncover the hidden facts and events which will bring your family history to life.

We are happy to undertake research in any or all of the Gloucestershire repositories as well as those in Bristol, Herefordshire and Worcestershire archives. No task is too small or too large; a single look-up, a search for an event, a full family history or anything in between.

Our current charges are 15 UKP or 25 USD per hour plus costs of travel, postage, copying or certificate purchase, etc.. Other currencies may be accepted by prior arrangement. We have a Paypal account to allow payment by credit card if required.

We do not have standard rates for specific tasks as a search can last a few minutes, take many hours or we may never find what you are seeking so we tend to work in research sessions of one, two, or more hours at a time. In such cases, we are happy to be paid after we have done a task as long as a fixed limit is agreed by both parties beforehand.

Photographic Services

Would you like to see where your ancestors lived and worked, the church in which they were baptised or married, the place where they are buried? We can take a single photograph or several for you; the choice is yours. We can also take photographs of documents when photocopying is not an option.

These digitial images can be emailed to you, saved onto CD or printed and posted. Charges are the same as for genealogical research but the travel element is likely to be greater.

Other Services

Your request does not have to be genealogically related. In the past, we have done house history, local history and even some statistical research for a medical historian has been carried out using the records at Gloucestershire Archives. We are very flexible, so please contact us at Hidden Heritage to discuss your own requirements.
